I bought a pre-loved Fascinante LV bag with no straps. The original owner said that the straps were too sticky and cutt off them. So, I put new straps on it!

I like the bag but the straps are really too long. I wouldn’t like to have a bag that touches my knees when I walk... would really appreciate if LV offered strap shortening.Oo my kind of thread!
Has anybody managed to shorten the chain straps of the Vavin PM, temporarily or permanently? I tried tying the straps together under the flap or looping it under the flap (like I do with the Chanel Jumbo), but the empreinte leather is no where near as stiff as the caviar, so I'm concerned the flap will collapse with weight.![]()
This makes me wish all LV bags had d rings.In my house we have multiple cars and drivers, so I am constantly rotating keys with other people. I was looking for a way to attach keys to my D-Ring quickly, without any fuss. I found this brass piece that works beautifully and looks good too, so I thought I would share.![]()
Hi Paula,$70 more than PA, but Noe pouch is much more for the money!

Don’t mind the tape- trying to train drawstring to lay flat
I did not (and would not) punch holes through any part of the bag. I just used two D rings from Joann Fabric Store that I opened and put through existing grommets in the bag then squeezed closed again. I definitely would not put a lot of weight in the bag or you'd risk damage since it wasn't made to be worn this way. I can't tell you how much weight. I personally used it just like my pochette accessories, where I don't put a lot of items inside.Hi Paula,
May I ask that did you punch hole thru the lining or just a D ring that you can screw through the 2 grommets only ?. What is the heaviest recommended weight You could advice so the leather won’t stretch(. I’m so scared. I really want to buy this as other Noes are so big which I don’t like. This one is perfect .
Thanks for the infor. I only intend to put phone, wallet, some cosmetic, maybe 150-300ml water bottle.I did not (and would not) punch holes through any part of the bag.

Added D rings to Noe Poche (Noe Pouch) so I can add straps
